Cameroon soldiers killed at least 27 Boko Haram fighters after launching a cross-border operation in Goshi, Nigeria that also resulted in the death of one soldier, a senior military official said.
Capt. Yari Emmanuel, the head of Cameroon’s Rapid Intervention Battalion, was also killed and at least six other soldiers were injured in the operation early Thursday.
The terror sect had launched a series of attacks in Cameroon earlier this week, said Kodji.
“At least 27 Boko Haram fighters were killed in Thursday morning’s operation,” said Gen. Jacob Kodji, commander of Cameroon troops in the area.
The soldiers remain on the battle front there, he said.
Regional forces from Cameroon and Nigeria have since December 2015 been launching raids on Boko Haram strongholds along their borders, especially around Ashigashiya.
Ashigashiya straddles the border of northern Cameroon and Nigeria.
